The Cut

The Cut is a street in London which runs between Waterloo Road in Lambeth and Blackfriars Road in Southwark. During the 19th century, The Cut and Lower Marsh were the business centers of Lambeth, and it was in The Cut where - at a boxing gym situated above a pub - the modern rules for the sport of boxing were penned. It is the location of the famed Old Vic theatre at the western end and the experimental Young Vic theatre halfway along on the other side, and Waterloo station is also nearby.
